Wealthy consultants: I know you’ve tried running as republicans-lite. We suggest that you move further to the right.

DNC: brilliant

[–] nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca 63 points 2 weeks ago

Don't forget, absolute, unthinking support of Israel under all circumstances. Even thinking about why you support Israel antisemitic, and this issue is more important than any domestic issue. Literally losing to Republicans is preferable to budging 1mm on this .

checking under the hood of the DNC

Curious, all I'm seeing is more consultants.

[–] possumparty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

even worse, they're all conservative consultants.

Democrats: ......... But why male voters?

Mamdani: you serious? I just told you that a moment ago!

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 92 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Supplement Mamdani with a Trump-like folk and see it for yourself: Dems do not support socialism, nothing new here

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

We need a good middle ground candidate. One that can get support from people like Dick Cheney and George W Bush. That’ll get us the young voters.

So there should be a socialist party no?

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 104 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Nope if you ask me. Socialists must conquer the Dem platform just as fascist have conquered the GOP

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 47 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Problem is:

both the DNC and GOP fight Socialists (or more like moderate social democrats already)
both the DNC and GOP do not fight Fascist, and often help them instead.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

GOP do not fight Fascist

It's worth remembering there was a "Never Trump" movement among Republicans, and it folded as soon as Trump won.

Problem is fascists get a lot of money or have their signal boosted with money for doing what they are doing. Socialists will be fought with money. Remember the billionaires standing in line behind Trump? Who were missing were the Murdoch media empire an Putin, they also signal-boosted Trump. But other than those, that row of billionaires gives you an idea of how much money is backing fascists.

Bernie: I have +45 on young male voters, and +12 over Trump if elected as the DNC nominee.

DNC: Were going to learn nothing from this, ever.

they'd rather see the corporate candidate lose than the popular candidate win

Translation: how can we con men into supporting our platform, as opposed to changing our platform to be more appealing to men and younger voters in general?

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 42 points 1 week ago (112 children)

Dems: Best we can do is racism and abandoning trans people.

[–] jenesaisquoi@feddit.org 22 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Poor US-americans. They get to choose between shit and shit lite.

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The wealthy oligarchs con people into voting for shit by paying the opposition to be shit lite. Nobody wants to vote for shit lite, so if the oligarchs make sure the opposition is shit lite, then shit wins

I'm sure Chuck Schumer will get to the bottom of this after he finishes his book tour on antisemitism in America while being completely tone-deaf on the absolute disdain many of us have for our tax dollars supporting a genocide in the 21st century.

No guys wait, why not pay our campain's $100millions to cool billionares like Beyonce or Taylor Swift to relate to these young voters?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 32 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

You know, if you're holding a big GOTV drive in Houston and you want to bring their home town girl in to sing a few bars as part of a state convention or mobilizing event, I wouldn't begrudge them that.

But Beyonce showed up at a big Harris event and didn't perform any music. Literally paid to wave at the crowd and not do the thing for which you're famous.

What Trump spent a lot of time talking about during the campaign was the economy and cost of living, which got worse under Biden.

Even a lot of his anti immigration stuff was frames as "they're taking our jobs". And that's what Mamadani is doing right.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

...due to Trump's terrible pandemic handling, and Republicans blocking the anti price gouging bills

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Doesn't change the fact that when people do worse economicly for any reason they want to vote out the incumbent.

How about another fundraising gala? They can use the proceeds to fund another UBI pilot study, just in case it stopped working this year.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Dems don't want to win every election because that would break the scam.

Send in the republicans to loot our money and then send in the dems to fix everything up enough to where they can loot again.

[–] jaennaet@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago

I keep saying this but it feels like the Dems are a Russia-style controlled opposition party.

Doesn't mean 100% of them are garbage, but the leadership sure does seem like it hates the idea of successful opposition

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

Fix? Best we can do is Most Lethal Military Ever and expanding the programs we all agreed were bad under Trump.

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

At this point, the Dem party consider themselves retired.; enjoying their investor's cash, and playing fiddle while DC burns.

It's time to reform the government.

Edit: and people need to seriously consider what that looks like. Especially once the smoke clears

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Changing the voting system is the first step.

A lot of smart people have looked at this problem. With years of study, lots of math, and some real world testing, the best option for a replacement is STAR.

[–] ToadOfHypnosis@lemmy.world 26 points 2 weeks ago

How can we make these voters okay with corporate servitude and still vote for us so we can keep getting all this fat lobbyist money?

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 25 points 2 weeks ago

mail voters, young men that work at the posf office

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

It's kinda funny. They'll also want their own Rogan, but the guys who fit that bill that are leftist call them out to. The dems just wanted a spokesperson with a cock and they are not getting it.

The fact this is downvoted is crazy... It's a completely legitimate question and the first thing I asked myself when I read this.

What does +n favourability mean?

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

There's 100 people in the room

10 think you're annoying, 80 love you, 10 dont care

A "net" when talking numbers is the difference, so you would have a net favorability of 70%. Because it's the people who like you minus the people who dislike you, and no one cares about the people who don't care.

Quick edit:

I didn't check if that 73% is real or just to make a point, but if it is, 73% net favorability is obviously insanely popular. Cracking 50% overall is pretty much considered a shoe in
